PwC’s Valuable 500 Commitment:
At PwC, our vision is to foster an environment where people with disabilities are included, feel empowered to be themselves and have access to the support and adjustments they need to help them thrive.
In 2022, we released the PwC network’s first Global Disability Inclusion Strategy, focused on enhancing the lives of people with disabilities at PwC, those who have caring responsibilities for individuals with disabilities, as well as people in the wider communities in which we work. This strategy articulates our vision and the areas we will focus on to drive change across the network.
We commit to take action in line with our six areas of strategic focus;
1) Leadership commitment
Elevating Disability Inclusion in line with our commitment to creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace.
2) Talent and representation
Focusing on increased representation of people with disabilities, both visible and non-visible.
3) Culture of awareness
Increasing awareness and understanding of both visible and non-visible disabilities across the network through accessible communications, including the importance of our people committing to self education.
4) Adjustments and support
Investing time in understanding the needs of our people and clients. Working with territories so there are clear policies and processes for adjustments in place.
5) Data and self-identification
Fostering an environment where people feel able to share their lived experiences of having a visible or non-visible disability.
6) Accessibility
Having a strong focus on accessible and inclusive design, for both our physical and digital environments.
I hope that in the coming months and years we can move the needle when it comes to Disability Inclusion both at PwC and in society to continue to execute on our aspirational vision to foster an environment where people with disabilities are included, feel empowered to be themselves and have access to the support and adjustments they need to thrive.
